Bigger than most small choppers I've seen, but not too big, this chopper's style blends perfectly on my counter. No need to hide away in a cabinet and drag out when needed. Super easy to clean. Just rinse the blades, wash the bowl, nothing could be easier. And with very few parts, there's nothing to lose. Only takes a second to chop tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, etc.

This is a good size for smaller portions. I use mine to prepare foods for my baby. It's simple to assemble, easy to clean, and has a fitted lid so you can remove the blades and assembly and put the jar right into the refrigerator. There are no bells and whistles on this one - just press the top. My only complaint is that the spash guard is so tight that it takes more effort than I want to exert to remove it. Otherwise, I'm entirely pleased.

I purchased this unit because of its small size which I thought would be useful in our kitchen. We have a much larger unit of this type but it is inconvenient to use for small amounts of food. This unit chopped well but there was always a problem with unchopped food in the bottom of the glass container. With extra stirring you could manage to get everything chopped but it was a mess to have to open and close the unit many times to achieve this. It appears that a poor design of the glass bowl and cutting blades are the problem. We have gone to another small chopper and have given up using the DeLonghi unit.
